Usually when you click on the any of those words it goes to thier profile But sometimes- when I click on the links beside a post to Yahoogroups, the link goes black. I am not taken anywhere. Does it mean their email doesn't work, they are no longer a member, email is hidden or what? By the way there is no longer a "hide your email" option when joining.

Answer 1

I went to a few groups, when I click their Yahoo ID, it takes me to their profiles. when I click on this and I know their no londer a member, it does exactly what you say- so my guess is whoever you're clicking on isn't a member of that group any more.

when a group allows members to hide their addresses/ IP, it's still a setting that can not be reversed. if a group selected this option, that choice is there for good. if your the owner, under group settings memberships will show a bold red text-

if you're a member, go to the home page left tabs

Info - Settings  <-- click settings

it will state * Members can hide email address
